Luxury Hand-Spun Fibres Collection
A celebration of the world’s rarest and most exquisite natural fibres — spun slowly by hand, just as they deserve to be.
This collection features four exceptional fibres, each chosen for its beauty, rarity, and extraordinary feel:
Pure Cashmere — Hand Spun
Incredibly soft, light, and warm, pure cashmere is one of the most luxurious fibres in the world. When hand-spun, it retains its natural loft and silky touch, creating yarns that feel almost weightless against the skin.
Pure Raccoon — Hand Spun
Rare and richly warm, raccoon fibre has a naturally fluffy, cloud-like texture and exceptional insulation. Hand spinning preserves its soft halo and depth, producing yarns that are both visually striking and wonderfully cosy.
Pure Yak — Hand Spun (Tibetan Source)
Our yak fibre is specially sourced from Tibetan yaks, raised in high-altitude, pristine environments. The extreme climate gives the fibre its unique warmth, softness, and deep natural character. We custom-order this fibre exclusively for Butterfly, making it one of the rarest bases in our studio.
Pure Alpaca — Hand Spun
Smooth, warm, and beautifully drapey, alpaca fibre has a gentle natural sheen and remarkable softness. When hand-spun, it creates yarns that flow effortlessly and feel luxuriously comfortable to wear.
 
Important Notes for Hand-Spun Yarns
All of our hand-spun yarns are spun slowly and individually by hand. Because of this, they naturally have variations in thickness, texture, and twist — this is not a defect, but part of their beauty and character.
You may also notice occasional joins or splices, which are completely normal in hand-spun yarns.
These yarns are made from raw, minimally processed luxury fibres, so a strong natural fibre scent is to be expected, especially when the skeins are first opened. This will soften and fade after airing and washing.
Weight & Size
Raccoon hand-spun is sold as 50g skeins, but priced as two skeins = 100g
All other fibres (Cashmere, Yak, Alpaca) are sold as 100g skeins
Most of our hand-spun yarns fall between fingering and aran weight, with an average yardage of approximately 300–400m per 100g, depending on fibre and spinning style.

Each skein is truly one of a kind — made for makers who value texture, character, and the quiet luxury of something shaped entirely by human hands.
